Queen of the South (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 12 - Justicia - full transcript
Teresa tries to free a friend from his cage and comes face to face with her sworn enemy.
TERESA: Previously
on Queen of the South...
What is this?
KELLY ANNE: These are the
ownership documents
filed in the Cayman Islands
for Camila's trawler company.
I never signed these papers.
Camila's trying to set
you up to take the fall
for her business.
We may have lost our supply.
Someone gave up El Santo.
TERESA: We have a rat.
They put a tracker
in Guero's necklace.
IVAN: Basically what they did
is cast a copy of the medal,
inserting a tiny TTL device.
TERESA: Can we use this?
IVAN: To track someone?
Absolutely.
JAMES: Found the mole.
-I can't believe this.
But you had no problem
suspecting me.
Now, how much dinero
is it gonna cost me for me
and my amigo--
(shouts)
(both grunting)
TERESA: Have we heard
from George?
JAMES: He's been off grid.
I just can't get
ahold of him.
TERESA: We need to find him.
There's Oleg.
Congratulations, Teresa.
I see bright things
in your future.
I'll be in Phoenix shortly.
JAMES: Call me
when you get here.
(suspenseful music)
(jet engines roaring)
TERESA: Thank you
for meeting with me.
To be honest, I wasn't thrilled
to get your call, Teresa.
Last time I saw you,
you burned your relationship
with Rocco in Malta and in turn
threw a lit match on mine.
TERESA: I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
for that to happen.
I'm hoping you care
more about the opportunity
I have for you.
Continue.
I've taken control of the
Phoenix corridor in Arizona.
TERESA: I have a distribution
system on the dark web.
Rocco has Malta.
But there's an entire
world without him.
I think we can help each other.
There's only one problem.
My supplier's gone
off the grid.
I won't share my connections
with you, Teresa.
Not after Malta.
(dramatic music)
OLEG: Good luck.
*
TERESA: The meeting with
Oleg didn't go well.
JAMES: There may be
another option.
I'm meeting Camila now.
(knocking)
*
James.
Nice to see you again.
I miss having you by my side.
CAMILA: Does Teresa know?
She sent me to hear you out.
Mm.
POTE: Whenever you're down,
you always come back stronger.
POTE: This isn't the time
to give up, Teresita.
TERESA: El Santo
is either dead or missing.
There's no business
without product.
POTE: You know where
we could get some.
No.
James said that
Camila can help us.
Camila is dangerous.
Yes, she is.
But you're safer with
her under your nose.
(dramatic music)
POTE: Just listen
to what she has to offer.
But like you said...
You might as well
go home and quit.
And I know that's not what
you want in your heart.
POTE: Because you are
a survivor, Teresita.
You never stop fighting.
*
Don't stop now.
*
CAMILA: I'm here for a truce.
*
Did you tell Teresa I could
provide a supplier?
Yes, but the chances
of a sit down are slim to none.
CAMILA: Teresa's
business has stalled.
She needs my connection.
CAMILA: You know
I can help her.
Yeah, but she's not
gonna want your help.
CAMILA: I know.
But she needs it.
*
And I certainly need hers.
*
It's the only way
to save my daughter.
*
(cell phone vibrates)
It's her.
*
TERESA: What's her offer?
*
JAMES: She's asking
for a sit-down.
What do you want me to do?
*
I'll meet with her.
Take her to the safe house
close to the border.
JAMES: All right.
*
You know I can't guarantee
your protection.
CAMILA: I've run
out of options.
So if I'm gonna meet
my executioner...
*
So be it.
*
POTE: So if Camila comes
through with the supply,
what then?
*
You gonna kill her?
*
(music intensifies)
CAMILA: I know El Santo is out.
I know you need a supplier.
I can set up an introduction
with the Colombians.
(dramatic music)
What do you want in return?
*
I want you to kill Cortez.
CAMILA: I came to you because
I know you despise him
as much as I do.
Cortez convinced my daughter
that I ordered the execution
of her fiancé.
I did not.
*
And now he has her,
and I have to save her.
*
CAMILA: My governorship
is over.
*
I can set up a meeting
with Reynaldo.
CAMILA: And you can get
your business back on track.
*
Do you want
the introduction or not?
*
You understand what will happen
to you if this is a trap?
*
You'll kill me.
*
And bury me
in a hole somewhere.
And never think of me again.
*
CAMILA: I was running
for my life.
And I'm standing in front of
the person that wants me dead
more than anyone.
The only thing that
matters to me now...
*
Is my daughter.
*
TERESA: Take her.
*
CASTEL: I always thought
Camila's home was a little bit
over the top with
all the hard stone.
Governor's Mansion seems
to suit you, General.
CASTEL: Reynaldo is ready
to resume business with you...
-(clears throat)
-Running Mexico.
-Welcome news.
-CASTEL: Hmm.
Truth is, he's in no condition
to put up much of a fight.
He had a health scare,
so he's traveling to the U.S.
to see a heart specialist
as we speak.
Perhaps it is your time
to take the reins.
It's inevitable.
And I'm a patient woman.
Now excuse me, General,
but I have a plane to catch.
(clears throat)
CASTEL: It's always good
to see you.
It's always my pleasure.
Have a safe trip, huh?
Mm.
Take care.
CORTEZ: (clears throat)
CORTEZ: (breathing heavily)
(clears throat)
*
(clears throat)
*
(breathing heavily)
*
SOLDIER: General?
SOLDIER: General, que pasa?
(dramatic music)
*
Is this still your brand?
*
CAMILA: Yeah.
*
Gracias, Pote.
*
I learned the rules of
the cartel from Epifanio.
POTE: I know you were
owed for his life.
You killed the man
that Teresa loved.
You collected your payment.
*
And you still kept coming.
POTE: Now you're
the one who owes.
*
I see that you and James have
been doing a lot of the killing
for Teresa.
The entire Comisión.
Impressive.
It's interesting, though.
*
She never approved of violence
when she was working for me.
POTE: She's la jefa now.
And she will do what she
has to protect her people
and her business.
Mm.
*
Must be eating away at her.
To become what she
hated the most.
And what's that?
*
Me.
POTE: She's nothing like you.
You don't even deserve
to speak her name.
I know more about running
a cartel than she ever will.
*
And you know that.
*
Or I will shut it
for you for good.
*
You're welcome to try.
*
Now get comfortable
in your new mansion.
*
JAMES: Hey.
JAMES: I understand not wanting
to do the deal with Camila.
But the offer is good.
Reynaldo Fieto is loyal
to the Vargas family,
so if she vouches for you,
you have a supplier again.
You ask me,
Camila owes you this.
You've built this business up
through sheer determination.
This move is a building
block for your future.
Let's make the deal
with Reynaldo,
then move on to Cortez.
The rest we'll figure
out afterwards.
I'm not gonna be
there for the rest.
(dramatic music)
JAMES: I can't work
for someone who keeps
questioning my loyalty.
Not after all
we've been through.
*
I'm gonna help you
take out Cortez,
make sure you're secure,
but then I'm out.
*
TERESA: James.
*
(dramatic music)
*
(door closes)
*
Someone in this room
was brave enough to attack me.
*
But who is brave enough
to confess?
*
CORTEZ: Who put poison
in my wine?
Who would do this to me?
*
CORTEZ: Hmm?
Not only am I
physically wounded,
but my heart breaks
from this betrayal.
(gunshot)
(all gasping)
When the body is wounded,
the wound festers.
What's rotten
must be hacked away!
Emperor Claudius was poisoned
by his wife, Agrippina.
A single dose in
his evening meal.
*
Is my little chef
a student of history?
Oh, no.
(crying)
*
*
(groaning)
(coughing)
*
(crying)
I want my security doubled.
*
Move out to our new
headquarters immediately.
*
(sirens blaring)
(elevator dings)
LOUDSPEAKER: Satellite
pharmacy, 713.
Satellite pharmacy, 713.
CAMILA: Reynaldo.
REYNALDO: Camila.
-How are you, my friend?
REYNALDO: The doctors tell me
that if I take my pills,
I'll live another 20 years.
My very ambitious niece would
love me to retire tomorrow.
CAMILA: Does Castel know
you're meeting with us?
REYNALDO: No.
I wanted to hear the terms of
the deal before I pass anything
along to her.
May I introduce Teresa Mendoza.
Nice to meet you.
I was very surprised when
Camila asked me to see you.
REYNALDO: I'm not in the habit
of doing business with
the enemies of my friends.
You killed Epifanio.
And now you expect me
to work with you.
Even Camila knows I had no
choice but to defend myself.
TERESA: Cortez is your enemy.
You need a new partner
in Mexico.
That's true.
The past is buried, Reynaldo.
Camila.
CAMILA: I promise you.
I underestimated Teresa
in more than one occasion.
CAMILA: She will
take out Cortez.
And this will be a good
partnership for you.
(dramatic music)
*
When I heard that malparido
Cortez had turned against her,
I wanted to cut off
his cojones.
*
I will work with you, but only
if you defeat the General.
*
And there is one
more condition.
*
He'll give us product.
What are the terms?
Camila can't be harmed.
*
What did you tell him?
*
I agreed.
*
You okay with that?
*
I know Teresa told you
she'll keep me safe.
But what happened between us
was very personal.
I don't think she'll keep
her promise to you.
CAMILA: You know me, Reynaldo.
I won't go down without
a very bloody fight.
*
The last time I spoke
with King George,
he was in Mexico.
Did you kill him?
No, he's still alive.
He's being held under
a different name
in a mental institution.
Only Cortez and I know
the location.
Give the location to Pote.
TERESA: We need George's
weapons to take down Cortez.
We'll get him out.
I delivered my part
of the arrangement.
I want to go now.
TERESA: I agreed
I wouldn't harm you.
I didn't say I'd give
you your freedom.
*
TERESA: Hey.
Hey, there's been chatter on
the wire about General Cortez.
JAMES: He's left
the Governor's Mansion.
And there's been reports that
a military caravan
is heading north
out of Culiacán.
He's holding up with dozens
of his best soldiers
and stockpiles of weapons.
He knows Camila's out there.
He's expecting an attack.
He'll be putting up massive
defenses securing entry points
around the perimeter,
hardening his forces.
He's got every possible
resource at his disposal.
If we make a move,
he'll be ready.
It'll be close to impossible.
If we do this, we need
more men and an arsenal.
Camila knows where
George is being held.
TERESA: We need to rescue him.
Then get his weapons.
TERESA: He keeps caches
of weapons all through Mexico
like the ones he brought
to Taza's reservation.
You're right.
We need more men and guns.
That's why we contacted
Javier Jimenez, Boaz's cousin.
I know that guy.
He's a clown.
Yeah?
He's the leader of the
Death Squad out of Juarez.
POTE: He's crazy.
But he's one of the toughest
cabrones I know.
(motorcycle engine running)
*
TERESA: Javier, welcome.
I'm Teresa.
*
You're more beautiful
than people say.
*
Had to be something very
special for this cabron
to leave Camila.
Show some respect, cabron.
That was respect.
Ask James.
JAVIER: He knows
I tell it like it is.
In between all the bullshit.
Is Boaz coming?
No.
(dramatic music)
He's not coming out of hiding
until he knows this is no
bullshit setup.
TERESA: We have Camila.
She's being held inside.
*
POTE: Hey.
*
You believe Camila didn't
order Kique's death?
*
I believe Cortez killed
Kique to get to Camila.
*
(speaking Spanish)
*
Does Boaz still have men?
*
A few dozen.
We started a small
operation in Nogales.
JAVIER: Just across the border.
We need your help
to get our smuggler out
of a Mexican hospital.
He'll provide us with guns
to take Cortez down.
I'd love to feed Cortez
his own tongue.
*
But Boaz is going
to need something
more than just revenge.
What does he want?
*
To be in business with you.
*
We can discuss that.
*
TERESA: We can work together
and take down Cortez.
POTE: James has
the information on Cortez.
Good.
Did he tell you he's leaving?
No.
It doesn't surprise me.
I made a mistake.
I want him to stay.
Did you tell him that?
TERESA: Hey.
So, Pote and I will meet Boaz
and you will meet Javier
and his men near the hospital.
Using that guy is a risk.
You can't go into Mexico
without backup.
You're the boss.
(dramatic music)
TERESA: You helped
build this business.
You shouldn't walk
away from it.
*
I want you to run Phoenix.
*
Is that just a business offer?
*
I don't wanna lose you.
*
I just need a little time
to think about it.
*
TERESA: Yes, of course.
*
Be careful in Mexico, okay?
*
JAMES: Yeah, you too.
*
(Tejano music plays)
*
(singing in Spanish)
*
POTE: You sure we
can trust Boaz?
I'm not sure about anything.
TERESA: But he's already
sent Javier to help us.
*
(parrot squawking)
Teresa Mendoza.
Thank you for meeting me.
It only makes sense.
It's not like I got people
lining up to work with me.
Got a small heroin business
and a bounty on my head.
So do you.
BOAZ: Javier told me
about your meeting.
*
El hijo de puta Cortez
has to pay for what he did
to my Kique.
*
I'm sorry for your loss.
*
That boy was my heart.
*
If you get payback for me,
I'm all yours.
(cell phone vibrates)
I have to take this.
Excuse me.
*
Thank you.
*
-Hey.
JAMES: Hey.
Yeah, I'm with Javier.
We're en route to the hospital.
-How many men are with you?
JAMES: Half a dozen.
I'll let you know when we're
ready to move on George.
TERESA: Keep me posted.
*
After we take out Cortez,
you'll run Sinaloa.
I would like you to share any
major decisions with James.
TERESA: We'll work together.
*
You can count on that,
Teresa Mendoza.
*
To la jefa.
-Salut.
POTE: Salut.
(dramatic music)
*
(car door closes)
*
Shall we celebrate?
*
To the one person
in the world I can trust.
*
Isabela.
I love you as if you were
my own flesh and blood.
*
My mother is dead to me.
*
You're my only family now.
*
(radio chatter in Spanish)
(speaking in Spanish)
*
JAMES: Are your guys
ready to go?
JAVIER: They'll be guarding
the perimeter.
All of this to rescue
a smuggler?
I've got 20 different smugglers
you could choose from.
JAMES: Not like this one.
Let's go.
*
(blow lands)
*
(door clangs)
*
Bilal, where's George?
Bilal, where's George?
JAMES: Hey!
Something's wrong with him.
(buzzing)
(announcement in Spanish)
(shouting in Spanish)
*
(men shouting in Spanish)
Those are Cortez's soldiers.
Cover me.
(music intensifies)
(gunfire)
(fire alarm blaring)
*
(shouting in Spanish)
(gunfire)
JAVIER: (shouting in Spanish)
(grunts)
JAVIER: My gun's jammed.
JAMES: You're fine.
We're almost out.
*
(both grunting)
(blows landing)
*
(gunshot)
*
Come on.
JAVIER: (breathing heavily)
(gunfire)
(grunts)
(rapid gunfire)
*
BILAL: (grunts)
*
(tires squeal)
(gunfire)
*
You have him?
JAMES: George wasn't there.
Bilal was shot.
He might not make it.
It was an ambush.
Camila set us up.
(scoffs)
Did you see their faces?
CORTEZ: Like rats in a flood.
I thought Camila might go for
the smuggler to help her
escape the country.
So I put a contingency
in place.
But I'm not certain how Teresa
Mendoza found the location.
Camila must have
given it to her.
They are bitter enemies.
Their alliance
is highly unlikely.
Unless Camila has something
to offer that means more
to Teresa than vengeance.
El Santo.
CORTEZ: She lost her supply.
-Mm-hmm.
Would your uncle make a deal
like this behind your back
to give Teresa product
to save Camila's life?
He's always been
very fond of her.
It's possible.
(cell phone vibrates)
Please excuse me.
I have another call.
CORTEZ: I'll keep you apprised
of anything new.
Please do, General.
(beeping)
*
CORTEZ: Bueno.
BOAZ: Hey, puto.
*
Boaz.
I sent you a link.
*
(beeping)
(scoffs)
We're coming for you, cabron.
*
(phone beeping)
(computer speaking Spanish)
JAMES: Those men who attacked
us were soldiers--military.
Those pendejos knew
we were coming.
Are you sure George
wasn't there?
Yeah.
Camila gave you the location?
Yeah.
Can we still get at Cortez?
JAVIER: It's harder now.
Se cabron knows we're coming.
JAMES: He's right.
The guy will be building
up his security.
And we don't even
know where he is.
Call Taza and tell him we need
his men at the swing gate.
-We getting a shipment?
-No, not yet.
I'm gonna see what I can figure
out about Cortez's location.
Okay.
(dramatic music)
*
Se cabron saved my ass
at the hospital.
*
You have a good soldier.
I know.
*
(knocking)
SOLDIER: (speaking Spanish)
GEORGE: (groans)
I'm very sorry, Your Majesty.
I had planned on putting
your suffering
to an end this evening.
But apparently there's
been a breach
at your former accommodations.
CORTEZ: Did any
of my men get to you?
I know not everyone
can be trusted.
(dramatic music)
*
Someone made contact with you,
huh?
*
(groans)
Ah.
(heavy breathing)
CORTEZ: Tell me.
Come on.
You have been in solitary
too long, huh?
CORTEZ: This caused
you to stop using
your famously
wicked tongue, huh?
We'll see what else
you're good for.
You lied about
George's location.
George wasn't there?
CAMILA: They must
have moved him.
(dramatic music)
I didn't set you up, Teresa.
*
If there was a trap,
it was meant for me.
Not you.
-Trust me.
-I don't.
CAMILA: Of course you don't.
*
You believe I betrayed
you in Dallas.
I did not.
CAMILA: My attorney sent
the paperwork to frame you.
When the time came, I couldn't
bring myself to hurt you.
And that's the truth.
*
I did not turn on you.
I had grown quite fond of you.
*
I always believed
you were special.
*
CAMILA: Different.
You just assumed
the worst of me.
*
And you left me no choice
but to send James after you
to protect my business.
Just as you're
protecting yours now.
But regardless,
we need to trust each other.
Out of necessity.
Where did Cortez move George?
*
CAMILA: I dunno.
*
We lost the element
of surprise.
We need to get it back.
Give me your phone.
*
CORTEZ: Bueno.
TERESA: It's Teresa.
You have something I want,
and I have something you want.
Let's make a deal.
(dramatic music)
*
*
CORTEZ: Hola, Teresa.
My apologies for not being
there in person.
It seemed like
a needless risk.
Shall we discuss your terms?
We both get our supply
from the Colombians.
You run Sinaloa,
and we keep the peace.
*
I find those terms amenable.
CORTEZ: I look forward
to a fruitful partnership.
Where's George?
CORTEZ: My men
will assist you.
*
Now, what about my prize?
*
Reynaldo's condition is that
Camila can't be harmed.
TERESA: If anything
happens to her,
we both lose our supply.
You have my word.
She will be safe
in my custody.
(Billie Eilish's "You Should
See Me in a Crown")
*
* Bite my tongue, bide my
time, wearing a warning sign *
GEORGE: What's up with you?
-You okay?
*
Been better.
* Visions I vandalize,
cold in my kingdom size *
* Fell for these ocean eyes
POTE: This isn't over,
Teresita.
TERESA: I know.
* You should see me
in a crown *
* I'm gonna run
this nothing town *
* Watch me make them bow
one by one by one *
* One by one by
* You should see me
in a crown *
* Your silence
is my favorite sound *
* Watch me make them bow
one by one by one *
* One by one by
He gonna do a lot worse
to her than he done to me.
* Watch them fall
TERESA: She knew the risks.
* Ooh, oh, I like
the way they all *
* Scream,
tell me which one is worse *
I'm excited for your return,
Camila.
CORTEZ: Your days as
a fugitive are nearly done.
Wait till you see what
I've got cooked up for you.
*
* You should see
me in a crown *
* I'm gonna run
this nothing town *
* You should see me
in a crown *
* Your silence is
my favorite sound *
* Watch me make them bow
one by one by one *
* One by one by
* You should see me
in a crown *
* Your silence is
my favorite sound *
* Watch me make them bow
one by one by one *
* One by one by one

What is this?
KELLY ANNE: These are the

I never signed these papers.
Camila's trying to set
you up to take the fall
for her business.
We may have lost our supply.
Someone gave up El Santo.
TERESA: We have a rat.
They put a tracker
in Guero's necklace.
IVAN: Basically what they did
is cast a copy of the medal,
inserting a tiny TTL device.
TERESA: Can we use this?
IVAN: To track someone?
Absolutely.
JAMES: Found the mole.
-I can't believe this.
But you had no problem
suspecting me.
Now, how much dinero
is it gonna cost me for me
and my amigo--
(shouts)
(both grunting)
TERESA: Have we heard
from George?
JAMES: He's been off grid.
I just can't get
ahold of him.
TERESA: We need to find him.
There's Oleg.
Congratulations, Teresa.
I see bright things
in your future.
I'll be in Phoenix shortly.
JAMES: Call me
when you get here.
(suspenseful music)
(jet engines roaring)
TERESA: Thank you
for meeting with me.
To be honest, I wasn't thrilled
to get your call, Teresa.
Last time I saw you,
you burned your relationship
with Rocco in Malta and in turn
threw a lit match on mine.
TERESA: I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
for that to happen.
I'm hoping you care
more about the opportunity
I have for you.
Continue.
I've taken control of the
Phoenix corridor in Arizona.
TERESA: I have a distribution
system on the dark web.
Rocco has Malta.
But there's an entire
world without him.
I think we can help each other.
There's only one problem.
My supplier's gone
off the grid.
I won't share my connections
with you, Teresa.
Not after Malta.
(dramatic music)
OLEG: Good luck.
*
TERESA: The meeting with
Oleg didn't go well.
JAMES: There may be
another option.
I'm meeting Camila now.
(knocking)
*
James.
Nice to see you again.
I miss having you by my side.
CAMILA: Does Teresa know?
She sent me to hear you out.
Mm.
POTE: Whenever you're down,
you always come back stronger.
POTE: This isn't the time
to give up, Teresita.
TERESA: El Santo
is either dead or missing.
There's no business
without product.
POTE: You know where
we could get some.
No.
James said that
Camila can help us.
Camila is dangerous.
Yes, she is.
But you're safer with
her under your nose.
(dramatic music)
POTE: Just listen
to what she has to offer.
But like you said...
You might as well
go home and quit.
And I know that's not what
you want in your heart.
POTE: Because you are
a survivor, Teresita.
You never stop fighting.
*
Don't stop now.
*
CAMILA: I'm here for a truce.
*
Did you tell Teresa I could
provide a supplier?
Yes, but the chances
of a sit down are slim to none.
CAMILA: Teresa's
business has stalled.
She needs my connection.
CAMILA: You know
I can help her.
Yeah, but she's not
gonna want your help.
CAMILA: I know.
But she needs it.
*
And I certainly need hers.
*
It's the only way
to save my daughter.
*
(cell phone vibrates)
It's her.
*
TERESA: What's her offer?
*
JAMES: She's asking
for a sit-down.
What do you want me to do?
*
I'll meet with her.
Take her to the safe house
close to the border.
JAMES: All right.
*
You know I can't guarantee
your protection.
CAMILA: I've run
out of options.
So if I'm gonna meet
my executioner...
*
So be it.
*
POTE: So if Camila comes
through with the supply,
what then?
*
You gonna kill her?
*
(music intensifies)
CAMILA: I know El Santo is out.
I know you need a supplier.
I can set up an introduction
with the Colombians.
(dramatic music)
What do you want in return?
*
I want you to kill Cortez.
CAMILA: I came to you because
I know you despise him
as much as I do.
Cortez convinced my daughter
that I ordered the execution
of her fiancé.
I did not.
*
And now he has her,
and I have to save her.
*
CAMILA: My governorship
is over.
*
I can set up a meeting
with Reynaldo.
CAMILA: And you can get
your business back on track.
*
Do you want
the introduction or not?
*
You understand what will happen
to you if this is a trap?
*
You'll kill me.
*
And bury me
in a hole somewhere.
And never think of me again.
*
CAMILA: I was running
for my life.
And I'm standing in front of
the person that wants me dead
more than anyone.
The only thing that
matters to me now...
*
Is my daughter.
*
TERESA: Take her.
*
CASTEL: I always thought
Camila's home was a little bit
over the top with
all the hard stone.
Governor's Mansion seems
to suit you, General.
CASTEL: Reynaldo is ready
to resume business with you...
-(clears throat)
-Running Mexico.
-Welcome news.
-CASTEL: Hmm.
Truth is, he's in no condition
to put up much of a fight.
He had a health scare,
so he's traveling to the U.S.
to see a heart specialist
as we speak.
Perhaps it is your time
to take the reins.
It's inevitable.
And I'm a patient woman.
Now excuse me, General,
but I have a plane to catch.
(clears throat)
CASTEL: It's always good
to see you.
It's always my pleasure.
Have a safe trip, huh?
Mm.
Take care.
CORTEZ: (clears throat)
CORTEZ: (breathing heavily)
(clears throat)
*
(clears throat)
*
(breathing heavily)
*
SOLDIER: General?
SOLDIER: General, que pasa?
(dramatic music)
*
Is this still your brand?
*
CAMILA: Yeah.
*
Gracias, Pote.
*
I learned the rules of
the cartel from Epifanio.
POTE: I know you were
owed for his life.
You killed the man
that Teresa loved.
You collected your payment.
*
And you still kept coming.
POTE: Now you're
the one who owes.
*
I see that you and James have
been doing a lot of the killing
for Teresa.
The entire Comisión.
Impressive.
It's interesting, though.
*
She never approved of violence
when she was working for me.
POTE: She's la jefa now.
And she will do what she
has to protect her people
and her business.
Mm.
*
Must be eating away at her.
To become what she
hated the most.
And what's that?
*
Me.
POTE: She's nothing like you.
You don't even deserve
to speak her name.
I know more about running
a cartel than she ever will.
*
And you know that.
*
Or I will shut it
for you for good.
*
You're welcome to try.
*
Now get comfortable
in your new mansion.
*
JAMES: Hey.
JAMES: I understand not wanting
to do the deal with Camila.
But the offer is good.
Reynaldo Fieto is loyal
to the Vargas family,
so if she vouches for you,
you have a supplier again.
You ask me,
Camila owes you this.
You've built this business up
through sheer determination.
This move is a building
block for your future.
Let's make the deal
with Reynaldo,
then move on to Cortez.
The rest we'll figure
out afterwards.
I'm not gonna be
there for the rest.
(dramatic music)
JAMES: I can't work
for someone who keeps
questioning my loyalty.
Not after all
we've been through.
*
I'm gonna help you
take out Cortez,
make sure you're secure,
but then I'm out.
*
TERESA: James.
*
(dramatic music)
*
(door closes)
*
Someone in this room
was brave enough to attack me.
*
But who is brave enough
to confess?
*
CORTEZ: Who put poison
in my wine?
Who would do this to me?
*
CORTEZ: Hmm?
Not only am I
physically wounded,
but my heart breaks
from this betrayal.
(gunshot)
(all gasping)
When the body is wounded,
the wound festers.
What's rotten
must be hacked away!
Emperor Claudius was poisoned
by his wife, Agrippina.
A single dose in
his evening meal.
*
Is my little chef
a student of history?
Oh, no.
(crying)
*
*
(groaning)
(coughing)
*
(crying)
I want my security doubled.
*
Move out to our new
headquarters immediately.
*
(sirens blaring)
(elevator dings)
LOUDSPEAKER: Satellite
pharmacy, 713.
Satellite pharmacy, 713.
CAMILA: Reynaldo.
REYNALDO: Camila.
-How are you, my friend?
REYNALDO: The doctors tell me
that if I take my pills,
I'll live another 20 years.
My very ambitious niece would
love me to retire tomorrow.
CAMILA: Does Castel know
you're meeting with us?
REYNALDO: No.
I wanted to hear the terms of
the deal before I pass anything
along to her.
May I introduce Teresa Mendoza.
Nice to meet you.
I was very surprised when
Camila asked me to see you.
REYNALDO: I'm not in the habit
of doing business with
the enemies of my friends.
You killed Epifanio.
And now you expect me
to work with you.
Even Camila knows I had no
choice but to defend myself.
TERESA: Cortez is your enemy.
You need a new partner
in Mexico.
That's true.
The past is buried, Reynaldo.
Camila.
CAMILA: I promise you.
I underestimated Teresa
in more than one occasion.
CAMILA: She will
take out Cortez.
And this will be a good
partnership for you.
(dramatic music)
*
When I heard that malparido
Cortez had turned against her,
I wanted to cut off
his cojones.
*
I will work with you, but only
if you defeat the General.
*
And there is one
more condition.
*
He'll give us product.
What are the terms?
Camila can't be harmed.
*
What did you tell him?
*
I agreed.
*
You okay with that?
*
I know Teresa told you
she'll keep me safe.
But what happened between us
was very personal.
I don't think she'll keep
her promise to you.
CAMILA: You know me, Reynaldo.
I won't go down without
a very bloody fight.
*
The last time I spoke
with King George,
he was in Mexico.
Did you kill him?
No, he's still alive.
He's being held under
a different name
in a mental institution.
Only Cortez and I know
the location.
Give the location to Pote.
TERESA: We need George's
weapons to take down Cortez.
We'll get him out.
I delivered my part
of the arrangement.
I want to go now.
TERESA: I agreed
I wouldn't harm you.
I didn't say I'd give
you your freedom.
*
TERESA: Hey.
Hey, there's been chatter on
the wire about General Cortez.
JAMES: He's left
the Governor's Mansion.
And there's been reports that
a military caravan
is heading north
out of Culiacán.
He's holding up with dozens
of his best soldiers
and stockpiles of weapons.
He knows Camila's out there.
He's expecting an attack.
He'll be putting up massive
defenses securing entry points
around the perimeter,
hardening his forces.
He's got every possible
resource at his disposal.
If we make a move,
he'll be ready.
It'll be close to impossible.
If we do this, we need
more men and an arsenal.
Camila knows where
George is being held.
TERESA: We need to rescue him.
Then get his weapons.
TERESA: He keeps caches
of weapons all through Mexico
like the ones he brought
to Taza's reservation.
You're right.
We need more men and guns.
That's why we contacted
Javier Jimenez, Boaz's cousin.
I know that guy.
He's a clown.
Yeah?
He's the leader of the
Death Squad out of Juarez.
POTE: He's crazy.
But he's one of the toughest
cabrones I know.
(motorcycle engine running)
*
TERESA: Javier, welcome.
I'm Teresa.
*
You're more beautiful
than people say.
*
Had to be something very
special for this cabron
to leave Camila.
Show some respect, cabron.
That was respect.
Ask James.
JAVIER: He knows
I tell it like it is.
In between all the bullshit.
Is Boaz coming?
No.
(dramatic music)
He's not coming out of hiding
until he knows this is no
bullshit setup.
TERESA: We have Camila.
She's being held inside.
*
POTE: Hey.
*
You believe Camila didn't
order Kique's death?
*
I believe Cortez killed
Kique to get to Camila.
*
(speaking Spanish)
*
Does Boaz still have men?
*
A few dozen.
We started a small
operation in Nogales.
JAVIER: Just across the border.
We need your help
to get our smuggler out
of a Mexican hospital.
He'll provide us with guns
to take Cortez down.
I'd love to feed Cortez
his own tongue.
*
But Boaz is going
to need something
more than just revenge.
What does he want?
*
To be in business with you.
*
We can discuss that.
*
TERESA: We can work together
and take down Cortez.
POTE: James has
the information on Cortez.
Good.
Did he tell you he's leaving?
No.
It doesn't surprise me.
I made a mistake.
I want him to stay.
Did you tell him that?
TERESA: Hey.
So, Pote and I will meet Boaz
and you will meet Javier
and his men near the hospital.
Using that guy is a risk.
You can't go into Mexico
without backup.
You're the boss.
(dramatic music)
TERESA: You helped
build this business.
You shouldn't walk
away from it.
*
I want you to run Phoenix.
*
Is that just a business offer?
*
I don't wanna lose you.
*
I just need a little time
to think about it.
*
TERESA: Yes, of course.
*
Be careful in Mexico, okay?
*
JAMES: Yeah, you too.
*
(Tejano music plays)
*
(singing in Spanish)
*
POTE: You sure we
can trust Boaz?
I'm not sure about anything.
TERESA: But he's already
sent Javier to help us.
*
(parrot squawking)
Teresa Mendoza.
Thank you for meeting me.
It only makes sense.
It's not like I got people
lining up to work with me.
Got a small heroin business
and a bounty on my head.
So do you.
BOAZ: Javier told me
about your meeting.
*
El hijo de puta Cortez
has to pay for what he did
to my Kique.
*
I'm sorry for your loss.
*
That boy was my heart.
*
If you get payback for me,
I'm all yours.
(cell phone vibrates)
I have to take this.
Excuse me.
*
Thank you.
*
-Hey.
JAMES: Hey.
Yeah, I'm with Javier.
We're en route to the hospital.
-How many men are with you?
JAMES: Half a dozen.
I'll let you know when we're
ready to move on George.
TERESA: Keep me posted.
*
After we take out Cortez,
you'll run Sinaloa.
I would like you to share any
major decisions with James.
TERESA: We'll work together.
*
You can count on that,
Teresa Mendoza.
*
To la jefa.
-Salut.
POTE: Salut.
(dramatic music)
*
(car door closes)
*
Shall we celebrate?
*
To the one person
in the world I can trust.
*
Isabela.
I love you as if you were
my own flesh and blood.
*
My mother is dead to me.
*
You're my only family now.
*
(radio chatter in Spanish)
(speaking in Spanish)
*
JAMES: Are your guys
ready to go?
JAVIER: They'll be guarding
the perimeter.
All of this to rescue
a smuggler?
I've got 20 different smugglers
you could choose from.
JAMES: Not like this one.
Let's go.
*
(blow lands)
*
(door clangs)
*
Bilal, where's George?
Bilal, where's George?
JAMES: Hey!
Something's wrong with him.
(buzzing)
(announcement in Spanish)
(shouting in Spanish)
*
(men shouting in Spanish)
Those are Cortez's soldiers.
Cover me.
(music intensifies)
(gunfire)
(fire alarm blaring)
*
(shouting in Spanish)
(gunfire)
JAVIER: (shouting in Spanish)
(grunts)
JAVIER: My gun's jammed.
JAMES: You're fine.
We're almost out.
*
(both grunting)
(blows landing)
*
(gunshot)
*
Come on.
JAVIER: (breathing heavily)
(gunfire)
(grunts)
(rapid gunfire)
*
BILAL: (grunts)
*
(tires squeal)
(gunfire)
*
You have him?
JAMES: George wasn't there.
Bilal was shot.
He might not make it.
It was an ambush.
Camila set us up.
(scoffs)
Did you see their faces?
CORTEZ: Like rats in a flood.
I thought Camila might go for
the smuggler to help her
escape the country.
So I put a contingency
in place.
But I'm not certain how Teresa
Mendoza found the location.
Camila must have
given it to her.
They are bitter enemies.
Their alliance
is highly unlikely.
Unless Camila has something
to offer that means more
to Teresa than vengeance.
El Santo.
CORTEZ: She lost her supply.
-Mm-hmm.
Would your uncle make a deal
like this behind your back
to give Teresa product
to save Camila's life?
He's always been
very fond of her.
It's possible.
(cell phone vibrates)
Please excuse me.
I have another call.
CORTEZ: I'll keep you apprised
of anything new.
Please do, General.
(beeping)
*
CORTEZ: Bueno.
BOAZ: Hey, puto.
*
Boaz.
I sent you a link.
*
(beeping)
(scoffs)
We're coming for you, cabron.
*
(phone beeping)
(computer speaking Spanish)
JAMES: Those men who attacked
us were soldiers--military.
Those pendejos knew
we were coming.
Are you sure George
wasn't there?
Yeah.
Camila gave you the location?
Yeah.
Can we still get at Cortez?
JAVIER: It's harder now.
Se cabron knows we're coming.
JAMES: He's right.
The guy will be building
up his security.
And we don't even
know where he is.
Call Taza and tell him we need
his men at the swing gate.
-We getting a shipment?
-No, not yet.
I'm gonna see what I can figure
out about Cortez's location.
Okay.
(dramatic music)
*
Se cabron saved my ass
at the hospital.
*
You have a good soldier.
I know.
*
(knocking)
SOLDIER: (speaking Spanish)
GEORGE: (groans)
I'm very sorry, Your Majesty.
I had planned on putting
your suffering
to an end this evening.
But apparently there's
been a breach
at your former accommodations.
CORTEZ: Did any
of my men get to you?
I know not everyone
can be trusted.
(dramatic music)
*
Someone made contact with you,
huh?
*
(groans)
Ah.
(heavy breathing)
CORTEZ: Tell me.
Come on.
You have been in solitary
too long, huh?
CORTEZ: This caused
you to stop using
your famously
wicked tongue, huh?
We'll see what else
you're good for.
You lied about
George's location.
George wasn't there?
CAMILA: They must
have moved him.
(dramatic music)
I didn't set you up, Teresa.
*
If there was a trap,
it was meant for me.
Not you.
-Trust me.
-I don't.
CAMILA: Of course you don't.
*
You believe I betrayed
you in Dallas.
I did not.
CAMILA: My attorney sent
the paperwork to frame you.
When the time came, I couldn't
bring myself to hurt you.
And that's the truth.
*
I did not turn on you.
I had grown quite fond of you.
*
I always believed
you were special.
*
CAMILA: Different.
You just assumed
the worst of me.
*
And you left me no choice
but to send James after you
to protect my business.
Just as you're
protecting yours now.
But regardless,
we need to trust each other.
Out of necessity.
Where did Cortez move George?
*
CAMILA: I dunno.
*
We lost the element
of surprise.
We need to get it back.
Give me your phone.
*
CORTEZ: Bueno.
TERESA: It's Teresa.
You have something I want,
and I have something you want.
Let's make a deal.
(dramatic music)
*
*
CORTEZ: Hola, Teresa.
My apologies for not being
there in person.
It seemed like
a needless risk.
Shall we discuss your terms?
We both get our supply
from the Colombians.
You run Sinaloa,
and we keep the peace.
*
I find those terms amenable.
CORTEZ: I look forward
to a fruitful partnership.
Where's George?
CORTEZ: My men
will assist you.
*
Now, what about my prize?
*
Reynaldo's condition is that
Camila can't be harmed.
TERESA: If anything
happens to her,
we both lose our supply.
You have my word.
She will be safe
in my custody.
(Billie Eilish's "You Should
See Me in a Crown")
*
* Bite my tongue, bide my
time, wearing a warning sign *
GEORGE: What's up with you?
-You okay?
*
Been better.
* Visions I vandalize,
cold in my kingdom size *
* Fell for these ocean eyes
POTE: This isn't over,
Teresita.
TERESA: I know.
* You should see me
in a crown *
* I'm gonna run
this nothing town *
* Watch me make them bow
one by one by one *
* One by one by
* You should see me
in a crown *
* Your silence
is my favorite sound *
* Watch me make them bow
one by one by one *
* One by one by
He gonna do a lot worse
to her than he done to me.
* Watch them fall
TERESA: She knew the risks.
* Ooh, oh, I like
the way they all *
* Scream,
tell me which one is worse *
I'm excited for your return,
Camila.
CORTEZ: Your days as
a fugitive are nearly done.
Wait till you see what
I've got cooked up for you.
*
* You should see
me in a crown *
* I'm gonna run
this nothing town *
* You should see me
in a crown *
* Your silence is
my favorite sound *
* Watch me make them bow
one by one by one *
* One by one by
* You should see me
in a crown *
* Your silence is
my favorite sound *
* Watch me make them bow
one by one by one *
* One by one by one
